Bells Winter White Ale.....6pk
"Taking its cues from Belgian-style white ales, Bell's Winter White Ale offers a lighter yet abundantly flavorful alternative to the traditional heavy winter warmers. Fermented with a Belgian ale yeast, this blend of barley & wheat malts yields a mixture of clove and fruity aromas, all without the use of any spices. Deliberately brewed to retain a cloudy appearance, Bell's Winter White Ale is a beer for embracing winter." -- brewery
Alcohol by Volume: 5.0%
Bell's Christmas Ale....6pkThe basic inspiration for Bell's Christmas Ale was to create a sessionable holiday beer, using locally grown malt, which would stand apart from the array of spiced winter warmers that are typically introduced this time of year. In contrast to many other seasonals, Christmas Ale doesn't contain any spices: all of the dry, toasted notes & subtle toffee flavors come from the 100% Michigan-grown barley, custom malted by Briess Malting, while a blend of hops from Michigan & the Pacific Northwest lend earthy, herbal aromas. At 5.5% ABV, it stands as a smooth, highly drinkable beer intended to complement holiday menus.
Alcohol by Volume: 5.5%

2010 Goose Island Bourbon County Stout.....$4.99 / 12oz btl.Brewmasters Notes:
Brewed in honor of the 1000th batch at our original Clybourn brewpub. A liquid as dark and dense as a black hole with thick foam the color of a bourbon barrel. The nose is an intense mix of charred oak, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and smoke. One sip has more flavor than your average case of beer. A great cigar beer.Recipe Information:

Boulevard Smokestack 12oz!!!!!
Boulevard Smokestack Series now in 12oz / 4pks
"A new chapter begins at Boulevard Brewing Company this week as we started shipping some of our Smokestack Series brews in a 12-ounce proprietary bottle. It has been a project we’ve been working on for some time. The process to get a glass completely unique to Boulevard took more than a year to come to fruition. Then there was making sure the beer would live happily in the new size as it does in the 750mL bottle and of course all of the artwork that goes into a new package isn’t created overnight either.
We committed ourselves to a smaller serving size offering after receiving much feedback from Boulevard loyalists who said sometimes it is a challenge to get through an entire 750mL bottle, even when sharing with friends. The 12-ounce size brews will be sold in four-packs and the beers selected to be part of the line are Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale, The Sixth Glass, Double-Wide I.P.A. and Dark Truth Stout. For now, these ales will continue to be available in the 750mL size and Tank 7 has definitely found a home on draught too. While we haven’t ruled out adding other beers to the 12-ounce size, there are no current plans on expanding the line up anytime soon.
The end result is truly exciting. As we sit and listen to the clank of the bottle line, and watch the new little bottles at work, we know there will be some very happy Boulevard fans, including all of us here at the brewery. Cheers!" -- Boulevard
Very exciting news: We have recieved what the the KC Beer Blog dubbed "Little Smokies" --- 12 oz - 4packs!
Boulevard Smokestack Tank 7.....$9.99 / 4pk
Boulevard Smokestack Sixth Glass Quad.....$9.99 / 4pk
Boulevard Smokestack Double Wide IPA.....$9.99 / 4pk
Mix/match 4 packs of the Little Smokies if you like and we will sell them as singles!!!
